تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.11.3

10.11.3

This shaykh is afflicted with obsessive scruples, God preserve us: he does not shake hands with anyone nor go near him, and if his garment touches anyone's garment he washes it! I entered his hospice, met him and conveyed to him the greeting of Shaykh Burhān al-Dīn; he was astonished and said: 'I am unworthy of that.' I met his two excellent sons: Muʿizz al-Dīn, the elder, who took over the office of shaykh after his father died, and ʿAlam al-Dīn. I visited the tomb of his grandfather, the pious quṭb Farīd al-Dīn al-Badhāwanī, named after the city of Badhāwun in the land of Sanbal, spelled with fatḥa on the bāʾ and the dotted dhāl, ḍamma on the wāw, and ending in nūn. When I wished to leave this city, ʿAlam al-Dīn said to me: 'You must see my father.' So I saw him; he was on the top of a roof of his, wearing white clothes and a turban with a hanging end that leaned to one side. He prayed for me and sent me sugar and sugar candy.
